Tonight's riiily big shew is, apparently, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," the first of two NBC shows loosely based on the backstage antics of a late night comedy show suspiciously like "Saturday Night Live." (This one's the drama; Tina Fey's sitcom version, "30 Rock," will premiere next month.) The series is getting a lot of press because it comes from the mind of Aaron Sorkin of "The West Wing" fame, and it features the return of Matthew "Chandler" Perry to the TV airwaves.

Sunday ’ s Mass came as anger spread in the Muslim world over remarks by Pope Benedict XVI about Islam. He expressed regret that a speech he gave last week at a German University offended Muslims, sparking protests around the world.

So, our new Pope, formerly of the Hitler Youth (which I don't actually hold against him at all, by the way), quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor, and, as a result, a woman lies dead in Somalia and we 're teetering on the edge of a holy war. Makes perfect sense, doesn ’ t it? (Isn't religion great?)

a few hours ago, starring Zach Braff, and Rachel Bilson, and all that. I like Zach Braff. He's pretty darn cool. I mean, I loved Garden State -- pretty pivotal movie for me. But I honestly didn't know what to expect from The Last Kiss, seeing as how I knew nothing about the plot or anything. And, honestly? I liked it. I know the critics bashed it, and PP and the big-breasted ho I went with weren't exactly satisfied with it, but I did. I don't exactly know why - it just hit a soft spot for me. Basically (ooh! Spoiler!), Braff's story in it deals with being afraid that your whole life, from then on, will be dull because it's all planned out, and predictable. And I reckon that's a pretty big thing for people sometimes -- kind of feels like claustrophobia, almost.

A few things.1. I'm Blue Fox's permanent bassist.2. Apparently I can solo.3. I just got home from the Family Values tour at the Nissan Pavillion.4.

Chuck busted his face open at said tour in a mosh pit for said band # 4.6. Chuck is ok.7. I'm still indecisive and crap headed. Peace out, COOPS

ACL was fantastic. I saw Kathleen Edwards, Damian Marley, the New Pornographers, the Flaming Lips, and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Tom Petty had to stop the show at one point for the thunderstorm to blow through. It felt so electric - the lightning was sheeting across the sky! Rule of the night, applies to solo jammers only: If you can't keep a beat, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CLAP. I forgot how cathartic and energizing it is to be in a huge crowd like that. Good times, mama. OK, we walked miles and miles after the concert and dancing all day, and I can barely make sentences, so I am going to sleep. On nights like tonight I love my bed as much as the very first night.

In "How Bush Rules," lay out the history, people and consequences of Bush's resort to torture. Bush believes that as commander-in-chief under "wartime" he can make any rule or law he wants by fiat. His torture policy was among his earliest initiatives in fundamentally transforming the character of the presidency. Now, on the eve of the mid-term elections, he is battling prominent senators from his own party -- John Warner, John Mccain and Lindsey Graham -- over continuing his regime of torture.

We then went to work our way down Jess's list, basically, we have a set amount & see what we can get off the list for that amount. She also wanted a new phone, but as hers isn't that old, we said no, so she decided on an Nintendo Ds lite console instead & a couple of games.

“ We do not torture, ” President Bush has said time and again. But Bush has approved techniques that are defined as torture under the Geneva Conventions. In fact, he abrogated U.S. compliance with Article 3 of the Conventions that specifically prohibits torture. Indeed, his then White House counsel and now attorney general Alberto Gonzales contemptuously referred to the Conventions as “ quaint. ”

The celebrity gossip machine appears to have fully clued into the fact that they are a sitting on a potential goldmine with the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son -- it's the kind of botched investigation story that just keeps on giving. First we had the official coroner hinting at third parties in the room, possible foul play and pending criminal charges, only to follow up with zilch on all three counts. Then came the independently ordered, second autopsy by "world class" pathologist Cyril Wecht, who so far sees nothing suspicious, but did reveal that Daniel was taking antidepressants at the time. (TMZ has video of him saying as much here, followed by some heartwarming photos of the covered body being transported.) People now has the latest incremental update in this not-developing story:

One of the recent movies I was looking forward to, The Illusionist stars: Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, Jessica Biel, and Rufus Sewell. I think this is a “ wait for video ” probably more of a wait until it is on cable and Tivo it. It isn ’ t bad, it just was not that exciting or interesting for me.

Drew Bledsoe was outstanding, completing 19 throws for 237 yards, including two touchdown passes and no interceptions. Though he only completed half of his passes, that doesn't do Bledsoe justice because his receivers dropped a bevy of very catchable balls - including a dropped touchdown pass by Terrell Owens, which we now know may be due to the fact that T.O. broke his right ring finger in the first quarter but didn't tell anyone until the final period (more on that later). Nevertheless, the panicky calls for Tony Romo should quiet down for a while.

All in all a pretty good movie. I the story behind the investigation of the death of George Reeves, the man who played the original superman for a 50's kids serial (for those kiddies that don't know). Ben Affleck plays Mr Reeves (in flashback) and Adrian Broddy plays a private investigator that looks into the death (reported as suicide, but possible murder)

I ’ ve been reading this series since the beginning, but this is the first one I ’ ve received from Sci Fi Genre as part of my monthly subscription. This issue focuses on Lex Luthor, who ’ s on death row now following his latest (apparently successful) attempt to destroy Superman. Lex could escape at any time, but stays in prison because he feels like he ’ s made his point, even consenting to a “ final ” interview with Daily Planet reporter, Clark Kent. The interview is interrupted by the Parasite breaking out and the riot that follows.

Sunday September 17th saw the last day of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. It has been a successful fifth year that has pleased fans the world over. Yes, fans come from around the globe to catch the festival; I met a couple that flew in from Rome for ACL this year. Yes, Rome, Italy and not Rome, Texas. If you haven ’ t already, you should check out the highlights from Day One and Day Two. But don ’ t ask me if the sightings of Matthew Mcconaughey, Lance Armstrong, and Jake Gyllenhaal are true. I only thought I caught Jake at Ray Lamontagne the first night. I thought I was seeing things, but with two of the three being local boys who don ’ t hide their lives in Austin, it wouldn ’ t shock me if they partook in the Austin City Limits Music Festival this weekend.

The high-concept comedic story revolves around God and Satan who, tired of battling one another for human souls, decide to end the fight once and for all by traveling to earth in the form of a human and competing for the love of one woman. However, the two will have to do so without any powers, yet come equipped with all those fantastic human emotions like love, hurt and rejection. Whoever gets the gal to say "I love you" first, wins. Sounds fun enough, though I suppose the entire thing comes down to who they cast as God and Satan. I imagine they'll chase after the big guns, which means the names Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson will most likely show up sooner rather than later.

It's official. I can no longer watch my Redskins be brought to their knees by this frikkin aging QB known as Mark Brunell. I am done with him. As long as he is the QB of the'Skins we ain't going NO WHERE.I t's time for Jason Campbell, and it's time for him right now! We spent 2 fucking million dollars on a new offensive coordinator who's known for big plays and we have yet to throw the ball over 15 yards in 2 games... Brunell is a bum end of story.

Exactly 15 feet from my windows is the Soho Hotel, home to many a celeb sightings and mishaps. If I had a 24 hour webcam on the entrance I could probably charge for advertising on the site :) What gets annoying is when traffic is blocked. The tunnel is a few blocks down and drivers here are relentless when their hand reaches the horn - it's all over for the people's peace. One time Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony where leaving at least 3 or 4 security vans (hope it wasn't for her luggage) blocked traffic for an hour. And when Russell Crowe bashed the head of the concierge - cops were all over the place. Can't blame them for staying there however, all the good shops are here. Luckily tourists just stay on Canal St. or else this would be the Soho Zoo on West Broadway.

However, apart from tattle-tale Wayne Rooney getting Jens Lehmann yellow-carded at the beginning, the foul that led to a penalty kick for Arsenal, and Lehmann getting smacked in the face by Cristiano Ronaldo's ball at close range, there wasn't anything really adversarial or violent about the game. Which was good.

(AP Photo/Kathy Willens) The Boston Red Sox swept the double header in the Bronx yesterday and prevented the Yankees from clinching the AL East at home. Winning 3/4 games was way more then I expected going into the series, and it was nice to see the Sox show some pride and fight the Yankees tough. David Ortiz continued his bid for the AL MVP as he hit his league leading 49th home-run, leaving him just one shy of the Red Sox all-time record of 50. I really hope that Papi breaks Jimmy Foxx's record. I can remember when I was a kid I always hoped for a Red Sox player to reach the 50 home-run plateau but the likes of Jim Rice, Mike Greenwell, and Mo Vaughn never could quite get there. The Sox have an off-night tonight and take on the Twins on Tuesday.
